PRO SCRATCH MIXER
e CHANNEL SELECTORS
These are used to switch between Line input and
Phono input on each channel. Some styles of
music mixing warrant the use of the phono/line
fader as a transform switch. This mixer was not
designed with a transform switch or punch
buttons. NOTE you may want to upgrade to the
KSP100.
r GAIN CONTROLS
Each music channel has a rotary gain control. The
Gain control adjusts the input level allowing the
user to reduce or increase the sound level to
compensate for quiet recordings. NOTE: care
should be taken not to produce distortion with
these controls.
t TONE CONTROLS
Each Phono/line channel has dedicated two band
tone controls which can be used to cut and boost
bass or top frequencies.
KAM KILL CUT
The Kill Cut feature allows the user to completely
remove specific frequencies from individual
channels by turning the tone controls fully anticlockwise.
y CHANNEL LEVEL FADERS
These are used to adjust the output level for each
channel. NOTE: care should be taken not to
produce distortion with these controls.
u KAM PROFADE CROSSFADER
This allows the user to mix smoothly between
both music channels. You are able to adjust the
curve of the crossfader with crossfader curve
select switch.
i CROSSFADER CURVE SWITCH
With the button released the sound will fade out
sharply when the crossfader is moved. With the
button depressed the sound should fade out more
slowly when the crossfader is moved. A sharp
fade curve is required for many scratch
techniques.
o MICROPHONE CONTROLS
The MC/DJ microphone has its own dedicated
level control. NOTE: To achieve the best results
from the microphone channel check out our range
of Kam Mics.
1) TALKOVER (MICROPHONE OVERRIDE)
When depressed the Talkover switch reduces the
music level while the microphone is in use and
then automatically returns the music to normal
level when the microphone is no longer in use.
When active the led indicator glows red.
1! CUE MONITOR SELECT FADER
This Controls what is monitored in the
headphones. With the cue select fader to the left
you should hear the output from channel 1 in
both headphones and with the cue select fader to
the right you should hear the output from channel
2 in both headphones. With the cue select fader
in the centre you should hear a mix of both
channels 1 and 2.
1@ CUE LEVEL
This controls the output volume of the
headphones. Care should be taken not to have
this set to high as it could result in damage to
both the hearing of the user and the headphones.
The channel to be monitored is selected via the
cue monitor select fader.
1# LED LEVEL DISPLAY'S
The unit has two LED level displays. They show
the Left and Right levels of the Master Output of
the mixer.
1$ POWER
The Power On LED will show the current status
(lit = on). Ensure the mixer is turned off when
connecting external equipment.
1% VOLTAGE SELECTOR
The KSP50 is dual voltage (110 / 230). Please
ensure the correct voltage is selected for your
country. Failure to set the correct voltage will
cause damage to the unit.
1^ REPLACEMENT PROFADE CROSSFADER
(not shown)
You are probably already aware that this mixer
comes with a FREE EXTRA KAM ProFADE
crossfader.
Crossfaders get more use than any other part of
a mixer so they are always the first thing to wear
out. They are also generally not guaranteed and
are a chargeable item. The Team at KAM think
you deserve more time to enjoy mixing and
preparing to be a top class artist before you need
to reach in to your pocket to pay for a
replacement. So with two faders in the box,
compared to other brands you will have twice as
much time to enjoy this product.

OVERVIEW
The KAM SCRATCH PRO 50 mixer is designed to
give the DANCE DJ maximum flexibility and
features for minimum cost. This mixer combines
all the features required while maintaining a high
level of build quality and specification.
q INPUTS
The KSP 50 is a 5 input mixer. Both the music
channels have two separate inputs being a
combination of Line and Phono. The unit also
features one dedicated microphone input with
separate Talkover override facility (see Talkover).
Care should be taken when connecting to the
mixer that the correct connections are made.
Connecting a CD player to the Phono input or a
turntable to the Line input can cause damage to
the unit. When connecting a turntable to the
Phono input always use the signal earth cable
from the turntable to the ground point on the
mixer. NOTE: always use shielded signal cables
to reduce hum and background noise. The unit
should always be switched off when connecting
cables.
w OUTPUTS
The unit has two outputs on the rear 1 x Master
(unbalanced), 1 x Record (unbalanced. These can
be connected to either an external amplifier or
tape deck. Care should be taken not to distort
the output signals (above 0dB on the meters) as
this could cause damage to the external
equipment.
